[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1129646, member: 178786"] There have been a few changes to the frequencies in use on this satellite since I last checked it some time ago so I thought a re-sniff might be interesting. I can "see" all three of the Russian beam frequencies easily enough with a Promax Ranger and can get one of them (11265V) to lock in a blind scan with an Octagon SF8008. However, the Octagon fails to scan in the actual channel on 11265V, it seems I am just below the threshold for a lock according to the Promax? All the Northern beam frequencies locked OK but they are all strong signals and would be expected to lock. Russian Beam Frequencies 1. 10885 V @ 7.3dB ( lock = 7.9dB ) 2. 11265 V @ 5.4dB ( lock = 5.5dB ) 3. 11345 V @ 5.5dB ( lock = 7.9dB ) Location: Surrey, UK .
